Hey Todd-

These are really cool. Nice painting. I’ve been toying with the idea of a fictional English village as a board. I didn’t really have any game ideas I just liked the idea of a modelling a small village after watching tons of Jason Jensen’s train videos. I’d love to play a game. I haven’t read that book in years.

Thanks Eliot! I think this would be a great setting for FFOL Tales of Horror. We'll have to try it out.

As for the village terrain, I'm not planning on building a village per se (like Tin Shed's excellent board) and since my preferred playing area is a Kill Team sized mat, there won't be more than one or two buildings on it at any given time. Here are some of the 3D printed terrain elements I've acquired for the village so far.

The village pub, The Black Lobster:



A ruined farmhouse, which will serve as an encampment for some villagers fleeing "the local problem":



The local church (name to be determined):



Plus many of these ruined wall bits dotting the area, perfect for cover:



I also have a ton of forest terrain, originally done for my Mountain Man project, which will serve well for Faversham Forest, as well as a custom made river piece made to fit the 20 x33 Kill Team sized mat from Pworks:

What a great project!
 :-*

Everything looks great so far, so much so it is giving me the urge to add to my own English pre-war setting which has been neglected for so long.
 :D

Thanks Mason! I take that as a high compliment. I've seen your table in one of your threads, and it's GREAT!

Coming in a bit late, but I look forward to seeing what you come up with in this project.  :)

A few more things to add to this thread. I'm having a game of FFOL Tales of Horror this weekend with LAF'er Eliot, so nothing like a deadline to push you to get some stuff done.  lol

First up, pesky cultist from the Sacred Order of Baphomet. Kev Adams sculpts for Dragon Bait Miniatures. They were a bit small compared to the already small Tin Shed Follies minis, and they were slotta which I don't use, so raised the bases a little with Miliput and I'm happier how they turned out size wise.



Next up, a two-headed Hellhound also by Kev Adams hand, also from Dragon Bait Miniatures. This will be used if we try the summoning rules in FFOL.



And finally, what forest lurking cult would be complete without a stone summoning circle with tons of burnt down red candles!  lol This is a resin poured piece from Grabblecast in Poland (bought off Etsy). His stuff is amazing and similar to Tabletop Furniture's stuff.

These look awesome! Can’t wait to see this table. I’m pretty sure I have a vial of innocents blood in the back of a closet somewhere. It always comes in handy when summoning demons and such.

Cheers

See you Saturday!

Great additions, especially those Cultists.*

*That book looks a little suspect, though....somebody really should warn him.

Mark, on your recommendation I picked up this bad boy from Warbases and it's a BEAUT! And HUUUUUUGGGGEEEE....... :o

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with too.
Seeing what your doing reminded me of this . Totally forgot I made it when were talking.
Which is odd since it's one of the monster's I use form Ealing themed games.
It's at Bifrost miniatures. It comes with a human and giant rat in cocoons , and eggs. Plus a set of giant rat's or least it did when I had to replace mine from the website( third one .lost one ,and gifted the second.without knowing I'd lost the first . lol)
I think it was £18 for the set which is quite a chunk of metal.
To the point this one's got four coats of varnish and still needs a matt coat adding. As it kept chipping the undercoat every time I knocked it over whilst painting.

( I thought you might find it useful for scale if I used a figure you own.)

Something Wicked This Way Comes (Back of Beyond Characters Added)
« Reply #44 on: August 21, 2021, 11:09:24 PM »
Have a few more additions to the project for next time's game. This time, our adventurers travel to a fictional mountainous area in China looking for the fabled statue of Xhang Wui said to imbue experienced magic users with extraordinary powers.

First up, Addison Wexley the Back of Beyond Guide in British Service along with his trust pack yak "Betsy"



Next up is another ex-soldier familiar with the area and in British Service, Sgt Harinder Bains.



The sought after statue



And what else other than Chinese troops (being worked on as we speak) to give our adventurers a hard time, but the legendary hairy men of the region, the Yeren
